12:41 am
and i would say the cofounder would be crooked hillary clinton. cofounder. crooked hillary clinton. >> reporter: unprecedented allegations made this evening in florida. one day after he was caught up in another controversy. yesterday in north carolina, he was talking about gun rights and the importance of the next president's supreme court picks. >> hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the second amendment. by the way, if she gets to [ audience booing ] if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. although the second amendment people, maybe there is, i don't know. >> reporter: a statement that many say could be interpreted that gun owners might take up arms against hillary clinton. the reaction immediate and bipartisan. >> nobody who is seeking a leadership position should do
12:42 am
violence. and that's what he was saying. >> reporter: others noted it might have been a joke. >> it sounds like just a joke gone bad. i hope he clears it up very quickly. >> reporter: but maybe not a joke in good taste. >> the type of comment that a presidential candidate should not make. >> reporter: the headline in today's "new york daily news," this isn't a joke anymore. >> yesterday we witnessed the latest in a long line of casual comments from donald trump that cross the line. >> reporter: trump is sticking to his guns. the campaign insists he was trying to inspire voters noting, it's called the power of unification. second amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified. today the nra launched this ad. >> protected by armed guards for 30 years -- >> reporter: a $3 million buy making this the biggest single pro-trump ad yet. this morning on gma, former new york mayor rudy giuliani blamed the media for the uproar.
12:43 am
interpreted when the clinton spin machine interpreted it that way, spun it out to a press that is willing to hit him every day, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. >> reporter: but watch trump's statement again. watch that guy in the red shirt there. >> nothing you can do, folks. although the second amendment people, maybe there is, i don't know. >> reporter: the grimace says it all. today darrell vickers said he was a little surprised. >> he should not have said it. the news media will have a heyday. >> reporter: but he defended trump. >> i believe that he has the moral character that we need and stuff. but he also has a little foot in the mouth disease. >> reporter: trump supporters point out that joe biden made what they claim is a similar joke during the democratic primaries in 2008. >> i guarantee you, barack obama ain't taking my shotguns so don't buy that malarkey. if he tries to fool with my beretta, he's got a problem. >> there are some jokes you can't make.
12:44 am
pass through airport security lines. a presidential candidate shouldn't make jokes about assassination or armed insurrection. if that is really what he meant. the danger is a madman might take it seriously that an angry soul, passions inflamed, will trot out the thomas jefferson quote that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. it has happened before. sadly, it could happen again. former arizona congresswoman gay statement, responsible, stable individuals won't take trump's rhetoric to its literal end, but his words may provide a magnet for those seeking infamy. gabby giffords should know. her life will never be the same. even those who claim trump's wisecrack may not have been very responsible say it was almost certainly perfectly legal. >> the supreme court has said that to be banned, speech has to be intended to and likely to cause imminent violence. so basically you have to say,
12:45 am
it to be counted as a true threat, regardless of what you think about what trump said, it's almost certainly protected by the constitution. >> reporter: it's not the first time trump's sense of humor has gotten him into trouble. during the primaries he mocked a disabled "new york times" reporter. >> now the poor guy, you got to see this guy, i don't know what i said, i don't remember! >> reporter: last week he kicked a mother and her crying baby out of his rally. >> actually, i was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here. >> reporter: the mother said she knew he was joking. the week before that h practically begged russia to hack hillary clinton's e-mails. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> reporter: all pointed to as examples of trump humor that missed the mark. in each case, trump has accused the media of willfully misrepresenting what he said. >> i was joking. >> reporter: he's also noted on other occasions that blunt talk flying in the face of political correctness is part of his
12:46 am
>> i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? it's like incredible. >> reporter: trump's die-hard supporters are not about to condemn him for shooting his mouth off. to many of them that's part of his charm. >> he's not a professional politician. his speeches are not robotically programmed. >> reporter: at a rally today plenty looked past this latest controversy. >> anybody would think he can get on national tv and insinuate he wanted to have her assassinated is crazy. >> reporter: as the controversies mount, a growing number of republicans are jumping ship. >> if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? seriously. >> reporter: many say they're disturbed how trump riles up his supporters. >> i really am concerned about the hatred that you see out there and what people yell at his rallies and what they yelled at the republican convention. you need to appeal to people's better nature.
12:47 am
>> reporter: this week former republican congressman chris shays and 50 other prominent republicans announced they're voting for clinton. >> he's reckless with how he uses words. >> reporter: and they say it isn't just the jokes that worry them, it's also the prospect of trusting this man to speak for the nation. >> jokes rarely translate well into foreign languages. they can be taken deadly seriously by other foreign leaders and could lead to an escalation in a time of >> i am so happy to be back here. >> reporter: out on the campaign trail, tensions are high. today the secret service took down a protester at a clinton event. in june, police in las vegas thwarted what they say was an assassination attempt against trump. >> we love our police. >> words matter, my friends. and if you are running to be president, or you are president of the united states, words can
